Abstract (en)

Systems and methods for high power microwave combining and switching are provided. In at least one implementation a system includes a plurality of inputs, wherein there are M inputs in the plurality of inputs and a plurality of phase shifters, wherein there are N phase shifters in the plurality of phase shifters and N is a multiple of two times M, wherein a signal received through the plurality of inputs is divided and coupled to N/M phase shifters. The system further includes an N:N Butler matrix coupled between outputs of the N phase shifters in the plurality of phase shifters and a plurality of outputs.
